What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?

I am older so my radio stations of influence were in their prime during the British invasion and many, many American singers and groups.  
The stations I listen to the most were WLS out of Chicago, KIOA out of Des Moines, KAAY out of Little Rock, Arkansas and KOMA  out of Oklahama.  When I was in the Air Froce I had a few stations near the main base I was stationed at outside of Rapid City, S.D.  
Of course systems and better and better systems and FM became the dominate source for broadcast/online music.  I did learn much of what I liked and eventually purchased through early radio listening.
I still listen to radio mainly for Jazz stations and NPR news.

Up until the time I was 14 (which was in 1970), it was KILT AM (610) in Houston. They played all the pop/rock. 

After I discovered FM, it was KLOL (101.1) in Houston. There was a disc jockey in the evenings named Crash, with a deep laid-back voice, who introduced me to lots of bands I'd have never discovered otherwise.

In the mid-to-late 70's I was in the Air Force, stationed in Austin, and my radio was tuned to KLBJ (93.7) which played a great mix of all genres.
